MIERCOLES
SANTO
Holy Wednesday is observed
with a grand procession.
The cast include:
Saint Peter (owned by the
Zabat family);
Saint John (Caro family);
Saint Mary Salome (Mallari
family);
Saint Mary Magdalene (Goduco
family);
Saint Mary Jacoba (Adorable
family,
whose big collection of
Holy Week santos has since
been sold to antique collectors
and transferred
elsewhere in the country);
Samaritana (Valdez family);
Last Supper (Ortiz family);
Agony in the Garden (Belardo
family);
Jesus Before Pilate;
and Cristo Desmayado
(Morales family).
At dusk, the procession
begins its trek
through the main streets
of the town.
The santos on their
glowing carrozas passing through
the dark streets scream
for attention...
and beg for reflection on
what Christ's Passion is all about.
